Water Damage Restoration in Arden Hills, MN
Arden Hills is the high ground on this site. Incorporated in 1951 on the Ramsey County side of the line south of Blaine and Lino Lakes, it sits on glacial moraine around Lake Johanna and Valentine Lake, and for seventy years its north half was the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant, which kept the city small and the houses spread out. The housing is 1950s and 1960s ramblers and walkouts on the lake roads, 1970s and 1980s two-stories on wooded lots, and a scatter of larger newer houses, almost all with lower levels cut into a slope.
Hills mean walkouts, and walkouts mean one wall that is a full story below grade on the uphill side. Water comes at that wall, runs along the footing, and finds the downhill corner. A house from 1965 on Lake Johanna has been through that more than once.
This site puts Arden Hills homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the walkout level before anything opens.
Arden Hills water damage on the moraine
Groundwater along the uphill wall of a walkout in a wet spring is a basement flooding cleanup. A pit that overflowed when a storm took the power out is a sump pump failure cleanup. Meltwater from an ice dam that came down an outside wall is ice dam and roof leak water damage, and the wall gets metered from the top plate to the slab.
A lakeside campus and 427 acres about to become a neighborhood
Bethel University holds 247 acres on Lake Valentine at the center of town, and the housing around it is the older lake-road stock. On the north end, Rice Creek Commons, the 427-acre former ammunition plant that Ramsey County bought in 2013, is planned as new neighborhoods, which will add the first new basements in that part of the city in decades. A lower-level rebuild anywhere in Arden Hills is permitted by the city under Ramsey County rules.
Call (763) 297-2728 and say what the lower level looks like. An independent local water damage provider serving Arden Hills takes it from there.
Services Available in Arden Hills
Basement Flooding Cleanup
Groundwater or storm runoff pumped out of a Blaine basement, then the carpet pad, paneling, and block walls metered to find what stayed wet.
Sump Pump Failure Cleanup
Cleanup after the pump quit during a snowmelt or lost power in a thunderstorm, and drying of the floor and walls the pit overflow reached.
Water Extraction
Standing water pulled off concrete, carpet, and tile on any level of the house, followed by the first moisture readings on the walls.
Structural Drying
Air movers and dehumidifiers run against daily readings until the slab, studs, and drywall come back to dry numbers in a closed-up Minnesota house.
Frozen Pipe Cleanup
Cleanup after a supply line froze in a rim joist, garage wall, or cold corner during a deep freeze and split, then drying of what the thaw soaked.
Ice Dam and Roof Leak Water Damage
Wet attic insulation, ceilings, and exterior walls dried after an ice dam at the eave or a storm-torn roof let water into the house.
Water Heater Leak Cleanup
A tank that let go in the utility room, the water it spread across the basement floor, and the walls it reached pumped out and dried.
Sewer Backup Cleanup
Contaminated water that came up a floor drain or basement fixture removed, the porous materials it touched taken out, and the slab cleaned and dried.
